How do I constantly F*** things up?! *Pardon my piglatin*

So I have probably know this my entire life but I am wonderful at saying the precisely wrong thing at the wrong moments and it never ceases to amaze me...

Here's my story...of stupidity.

So the past few weeks have been sort of tough on both my girlfriend and myself;
She's busy with getting ready for the new school year,
I'm busy working at a job that has no life-giving value and then sitting on my ass reading.
Needless to say, I know that Jenn's schedule is way more stressful.

Spending time with Jenn has been tremendously tough to say the least;
She's a PA (Or RA equivalent at other schools) for the second year in a row,
not only was it tough last year, but it presents more difficulties; more responsibility, more tireless hours of training the new PA's, and figuring out how to balance life with school and PA-ness. I am not helping in relieving this stress for her what so ever.

Lets see how I can put this...I'm a complete A** hole (my attempt at not cursing).

Jenn has been having a very hard time balancing her responsibilities with her private life
A feat that I couldn't accomplish with a thousand lifetimes and a pack of beer.
She's been frustrated to say the least and I've for sure noticed this (mainly because--and she'll admit this too--most of her aggression has been vented on me in one form or another) but I don't blame her...I remember how tough being a PA is.

Anywho, last night we stopped in my room for a bit and she closed the door at one point and we sat down on my bed (think a talk is coming...yep you'd be right).
So the discussion begins with tears and a "confession" to being irritable for the past week and taking it out on me.
At first I'm trying to comfort her but then comes a question something like this;
"have you noticed this?" or "what do you think about this?"
Obviously I don't remember exactly which isn't a good thing, but here's the storm to come.

Rather than taking some time to further comfort her and try and help her feel better...
I spent the next few minutes telling her that yes, she has been taking stuff out on me,
and yes, she has been slightly off all week
and yes, I don't know what the hell's been going on...but I feel like you've been a little cold with me lately (that's just a...we'll say summary or guess at the approximation of the stupid shit I said to make her feel even worse).

At that moment I don't think I could've made her feel worse than if she had run over a box of orphan kittens with bows tied around their heads...I felt that much like a dousche.
However, I didn't know that I was a total dousche until I woke up in the middle of the night due to a dream about an effing huge spider on my wall (I'm thinking that this was some sort of dream that I get only when I feel shitty about something I've done)

Ok so here's the scoop...
I don't think there's anything I could say right now to make her feel better,
I don't feel like she has any reason to forgive me and I honestly don't blame her,
I wish I could take it all back because I love her with all my heart (though the way I acted you would probably never know this)

I just want to make things right...
